Guess it’s time to give my two cents. I was extremely impressed with the defensive – good ol fashioned smash mouth football. I also liked the “try something different” attitude when it came to the offensive. But my big question is – did that throw Ainge off? What on earth happened? I’m listening to the commentator talk kindly about him – that “we will see him on Sunday’s, that wouldn’t it be great if the Colts drafted him?”, and on and on. By the way, that was probably one of the least biased games commentaries I have listened to.
I thought we had a chance until that final interception. My husband told me later, that his father saw the interception coming all the way up from their seats. If it was that obvious to someone watching the game, can you imagine how obvious it was to LSU?
I was going to pop over to UT Sports to double check the penalty stats – I almost fell over when I saw the Outback Bowl intro, I thought maybe the site had been hijacked. Yeah, one year I would like to go to a bowl game but I think we have spent enough money on losses this year. Ticket prices aren’t too bad $65 each. I loved the NO LIMIT comment. Hmmm, is it that hard of a sell? Okay, I’ll go if you include a hotel, gas and food. But then I would have to cancel my New Year’s Eve plans…
Oh, and as for the penalties 0 for 0 yards – “The Vols committed no penalties for the first time under 16th year head coach Phillip Fulmer.” Now that’s cool.
Not cool – the orange creamcicle uniforms. I like orange, but not those uniforms.
Did you hears the cries of fire Fulmer at the end of game? Now I’ve had time to think about it, it’s like the “you can lead a horse to water” analogy. These players can only be coached so much, they also need to be able to execute the plays. This time around, I think some creative coaching was going on.
So, now we sit and wait to see how the season will wrap up.
